take me out to the ball game

we went to see the mariners play this weekend. marcus happily made it through through the whole game, probably because auntie deanna and kara were there! he ate most of deanna's edamame and was after her coffee too. marcus stayed awake for most of the game, taking the occasional catnap to restore some energy since the game was during nap time. he's still a bit confused by the cheering and booing. however, he did manage to clap along a couple times. we didn't get up on the big screen. i'm thinking that's a good thing since they started adding captions...one man and his daughter were on the screen a bit too long and the caption "bad dancer and offspring" showed up under their image...

patti and craig jacobson (aunt patti/grandma patti and uncle craig/grandpa craig to marcus...i don't think they've figured out what they want to be called yet!) stopped by for a brief visit yesterday on their way home from their niece's wedding in vancouver, b.c. marcus fell asleep on patti's lap and she looked like she was in heaven! unfortunately i didn't think about taking a picture until after they left.

kevin's project in the basement is starting to come to an end, though there's still a ways to go. this weekend he finished up the drywall. now comes the "fun" with mud and tape, even craig admitted that this was nothing to look forward to. someday soon though we'll have a little family room down there where marcus can run around on carpet and fall without hitting the hardwood. we're very excited about this!

that's about it for our latest excitements. we're planning to go camping this weekend with the nakashima clan so keep your eyes open for some more photos and at least one story about the boys (meaning kevin, brian, craig, and christopher) causing trouble.

also, i added a new link to the right...amanda forwarded it to me and i thought it was very interesting.
